Naval Air Systems Command has awarded Northrop Grumman a contract for Advanced Radar Processor hardware sets in support of the Northrop Grumman E-2D Hawkeye, an all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning aircraft.

Work on the contract will occur in New York, Florida and Maryland, and is expected to be completed in November 2019.

U.S. Navy research, development, test and evaluation funds from fiscal year 2017 of more than $11.7 million will be obligated to Northrop Grumman at the time of award, and will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
